Subject: Wolves game

Great effort, saw the team and thought, this could go wrong, going 3-4-3 tk natch them and resting a few, easy for the players to drop a few percent and think, well looks like our priority is the cup, but nothing of thr sort. Turned out to be a master stroke, after being beaten by palace and wolves turning us over at home, both with a 3-4-3, was a good roll of the dice to say, let’s not let that happen again and do something different. First half; bit like Chelsea away, we struggled a bit working out tactically who went where, who picked up who, but once we figured it out looked solid second half. Another example of playing deeper, hitting on the counter with a lead is when we do our best work. Our next 4 or 5 games I think we can play similarly, give up the ball at times in order to stay solid and use our athletic players on the break. More and more I don’t care playing home or away, it’s our best way of getting a result, even if it means not being on the front foot.

Classy finish by Ryan, we know he’s got that in his locker. Thought diop, and to a lesser extent, Cuenca were brilliant. To not play for weeks, then get asked to start in a new formation against a team with some quality attackers, was very good. Diop in particular was outstanding v cunha, one of the form players in the league, so he was always going to have moments, but diop did brilliantly. Stepped into midfield to follow him at times and got tight and physical when needed, he did a brilliant job. Anderson also looked more comfortable not having to be pulled wide into midfield, could sit in the middle and use his passing. Thought Perreiras work rate was superb, considering how few 90mins he’s played, he was constantly grtting up and down and looked dangerous with the ball. Final shout out to Muniz, he could be a really top CF, because he does a bit of everything. He holds the ball up, big and powerful, he can go in behind, with just enough pace, he can finish and he can link play and has good technique with his back to goal. It’d clear he’s been asked to run in behind more, which Raul does really well, hopefully he’ll keep learning from him and I really think he can become a 15 goal a season prem CF whilst being the focal point silva wants from a CF.

All to play for then, icing on the cake being a few got some rest for Sunday. Firmly involved in 2 comps in March, results have gone nicely in the league, now so tight that a run of 3 wins at some point could see us finish potentially 5th, thay would be champs league, would be incredible. Utd game obviously massive, but after that although theyre tough on paper I don’t mind them, all next 6 league games they’ll come at us and we can play what suits us, all to play for.
